Tobacco was my first drug. And then booze. And then pills. And then pot. And then acid. And then shrooms. And then speed. And then coke.

Was offered PCP but was not attracted to it. Turned it down.
Same deal with heroin---but I plan to try it when I'm elderly.

I agree with the poster who said they tried pot and saw that it was good and decided to try some others.

So tobacco was the gateway drug for me.
And all those tv shows & people who acted like drugs were evil actually made me curious and made the drugs attractive: I had to see what all the fuss was about.:rasta:

I should add: before I started toking no one ever offered me pot; no peer pressure. My buddy and I had to seek it out.
